I have asked one thing from the Lord—
it’s all I seek—
to live in the Lord’s house all the days of my life,
seeing the Lord’s beauty
and constantly adoring his temple. (Psalm 27:4, CEB)

Being away on prayer retreat, this is one thing I need to keep in front of me. I need to ask just one thing.

I may have my laundry list for God, but there is only one thing worth asking, worth dwelling on, during a prayer retreat. I need to know him. I need to seek his face. I need to know him.
